An ethical person - like a politician, banker or lawyer - may know right from wrong, but unlike many of them, a moral person lives it. An Americanist first already knows that.
Bankers and their government agents will always act in their own best interests. Any residual benefit flowing down to the citizens by happenstance will just be litter.

Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Group Imploding as 50 Mayors Leave

Between the 50 mayors who have checked out of Hotel Bloomberg, some of whom were arrested, one for demanding gay sex at gunpoint,
the number of people in the control freak mayor’s boutique anti-gun
group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, run with pilfered city resources, is
dropping.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group
Mayors Against Illegal Guns is finding it hard to keep its membership
up, thanks to dozens of resignations and lost elections over the last
few months.

Worse for Bloomberg, who has become one of the faces of the gun
control movement: the people replacing his lost comrades aren’t
particularly eager to sign up with the organization, a rare group
battling in the trenches against the well-organized and deep-pocketed
National Rifle Association. Some appear not quite to have signed on for
that level of political heat.

“The original focus, I thought, was going to be on focusing on better
on enforcement of our existing laws, and if anything, we have talked
about not getting involved with things like banning assault weapons and
banning magazine clips,” said Rockford, Il. Mayor Lawrence Morrissey,
who left the group in June because, he said at a town hall meeting, the
group had veered from what he originally thought it was about.

The name Mayors Against Illegal Guns was quite misleading. Mayors
Against Guns would have been more accurate. But the group’s fatal flaw
was letting Bloomberg, an unpopular man even in his own city, become
their public face.

According to an old version of its member list, saved on a
blog dated back to late February, more than 50 mayors who were then
listed on MAIG’s website are no longer there. Most of the mayors whose
names are no longer affiliated with the group are off the list either
because they resigned or lost an election, but others have specifically
asked to be removed.

Meanwhile the Mayors Against Illegal Guns website, which is run using
stolen city resources, hasn’t been updated since April. Not exactly
promising for a group that promised to destroy the NRA and transform
America.

The final message from the doomed group closes by stating. “In 2014,
our ever-expanding coalition of supporters will work to make sure that
voters don’t forget.”
It’s been two months.
